I was surprised to find the following band not currently on the Archives, especially considering their debut album is a terrific Canterbury styled album, with enough unique musical elements of their own. Caravan is certainly a big influence on these Italian guys, but they’re hardly a straight rip off. I’d heard one or two tracks online and placed an order with Greg Walker’s Syn-phonic instantly. It’s been a huge favourite of mine for months now!

Their debut album `Le Ore I Giorni Gli Anni’ was released on Mellow Records in 2011, and is a combination of lengthy vocal pieces with long instrumental sections, and fully instrumental tracks. There’s quite an upbeat sound to much of the album, but with slightly more reflective and darker moments as well.

Hope you guys will find plenty to enjoy here! I'm pretty sure there's even more proper clips on Youtube of this album, as well as live footage?

This is the first time I've tried to suggest adding a band/artist, so I hope my post is all in order! I did a search and didn't find any mention of this band, so I hope they haven't already been suggested.

I'd be more than happy to supply a very positive review for the band if they were to be added!

Been digging these guys all afternoon, thanks a lot (and yes you more than adequately make your case for an inclusion. I mean just take a look at some of the other threads in this part of the forum. They're basically a name and a couple of YouTube vids, and if we're lucky a website address. You've provided all of that plus some very accurately made viewpoints concerning the music, a history, how you feel about the music - as well as a reason as to why you consider them eligible for the site)

I'll throw them by the hibernating Canterbury team, who sadly don't get fed as much music as I'd like(Where are you new Canterbury acts?!?!?!) Great stuff mate

“The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.”

This sounds really nice. I always hesitate labeling modern acts as Canterbury as that was more of a scene than a style, despite several foreign acts being classified as such here. I've "retired" from evaluation, so I'll see if anyone currently has the job and alert them - though I'd be happy to take this on if no one is available and admin is amenable.

PROG ROCK SUCKS IT DIED A LONG TIME AGO AND WILL NEVER COME BACK. ALL OF YOU OLD ASS MOTHERf**kERS GET A LIFE

Padraic, I know what you mean by the hesitation of labelling modern bands Canterbury, that was actually why I put in the question mark in the heading! I know I've had a few `arguments' with a friend over what constitutes a `Canterbury' band over the years, I even consider Camel as being something of a `default' Canterbury band!

Thanks for the extras too, Yam Yam! I noticed they've even got a cover version of `Nine Feet Underground' which I should check out!

Thanks guys, just happy to spread the word about that wonderful album!
